Wow, again @ all the variety in clinical experience! I'm with the same attending all day every day. He does inpatient in the morning and clinic in the afternoon. He went to medical school in Nebraska, too. I'll have to remember to ask him which and let you know. I go to school in Florida, but I don't plan on staying here. As far as residency, I'm torn between Gen. Surgery and FM. I love them both for different reasons, and so I will have to figure that out over the next few months. Are you leaning towards anything yet?

Nearly 100% towards some sort of peds specialty - my top three are pulm, cards and GI - in that order at the moment. The biggest question at the moment is whether to go peds or med/peds. There are a lot of things pushing me towards med/peds at the moment - but I'm not super thrilled about adults, and even less excited by geriatric patients. But I think med/peds offers better education, gives more inpatient management experience, and a lot of the peds fellowships (in particular cards) are really favoring med/peds applicants...So we'll see what happens. I'm looking at places all over the country at the moment. If I had to pick today, without having any real idea about what the programs are like, I'm most interested in Portland OR (OHSU), Charlottesville VA (UVa) and Denver (CU)vif I'm going to do only peds (none of those has a med/peds program). For med/peds, Nashville or Memphis (Vandy or UT), Little Rock AK (Arkansas) and Salt Lake City UT, are high on my list...
